Voyage to the Mysterious Islands of the Galapagos

We have internet for a couple more days after all!

Today we finished off all of our food products from home. (Thanks again Casey for the candies. I couldn’t finish them all so some were left as gifts to the owners of the hostels).

So that we could fly to the Galapagos islands.

We landed on Baltra and crossed the canal on the ferry.

And arrived at our hostel.

Puerto Ayora is a nice town, but very touristy. All of the signs are in English, with very little Spanish. Which is weird, because no one seems to speak English. Including the people that wrote the signs.

We walked down to the port.

image

We saw lots of big cactuses.

image

Many of them were flowering.

image

Then we watched a baby sea lion have his dinner.

image

And watched some pelicans wait for their dinner at the fisherman’s pier.

image

Then we had our dinner (also at the fisherman’s pier).

image

The birds wanted our dinner.

Can’t wait for SCUBA tomorrow, hopefully we can get some sleep.

  1. WOW!!! I can’t wait for more. I’ve wanted to go to the Galapagos for as long as I can remember. Out of everything I’ve done, getting my open water diving certification is still the accomplishment I am most proud of. I hope you guys love it as much as I do!
